Application led Tune` 16, 1919. Serial No. 304,536.

To all 'whom it may concern: Y Be it known that I, MICHAEL VEGH, a citizen of I-Iungary, residing `at Bridgeport,

in the county of Faireld and btate of Connecticut, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Milk-Boilers, of which the following-is a specification. l

:The primary object of the invention is the provision of a boiler for milk'that is easy and inexpensive to manufacture and of. great service as a kitchen article as well, as being ornamental in appearance and having other uses than the boiling of milk. p

A. further object of the invention .is to provide a two-part milk boiler serviceable for boiling purposes while eachpart of the device may be separately employed for other uses, one of the same being in the form of a funnel when inverted and the other a cooker for general uses. Y

With these general objects in view the invention consists of the combination and arrangement of Vparts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and then claimed.

In the drawing, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and

Figure 1 is a vertical central sectional view through the invention, and

Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof with the outer one of the members illustrated by Vdotted lines.

It is desirable in the boiling of milk to prevent an overlow ofthe fluid and my invention accomplishes this result by providing a receptacle or kettle 10 for receiving the milk and having an inverted funnel-shaped member 11 seated therein. The receptacle l0 has slightly flaring sides 12, and a flaring rim 13, as well as a handle 14 attached to the receptacle rim.

The member 11 being hollow and formed of sheet metal, comprises a substantially hemispherical portion or base 15, with a tube or neck 16 radially projecting from the pole or axis thereof, a plurality of inclined blades or fins 17 being exteriorly mounted on the neck 16 tapered toward other points of merging with the base 15. The member 11 is positioned in the receptacle 10 when desired to boil fluid such as milk 18, depending lugs or feet 19 of the member 11 being seated upon the bottom 20 of the receptacle 10.

The receptacle 10 being positioned for heating purposes, .the milk 18 is raised to thel boiling point and becoming agitated, the b olling; milk rises through the centrally positionedtubepl iiowing .out ofthe top thereof downwardly in Contact with thel ltins 17 and returning to' the. milkin the recep tacle-lO.

n As illustrated, the fins 17 increase invsize upwardly, so thatV at 'the point. spacedL farthest from the vboiling fluid, the fins have greater radiating surfacesthus to present cooler portions at the eXtreme upper end of the tube 16 .whereby iiuid boiling over the neck of the tube will .Contact .the fins ,UralC theirupper ends and be cooled to insure the lreturn to the receptacle 10. Also, the fins tend to radiate heat from'the upper end of the tube 16, somewhat to chillthe boiling iuid at this point and condense vapor adj acent thereto. liquely arranged, the uid returning to the receptacle is caused to travel over the ns so as partially to cool the returning fluid immediately upon returning to theboiling contents of the receptacle.

The member 11 is readily removed from the receptacle 10 and the latter serviceable for any uses desired, such as cooking, while the member 11 upon being inverted may be Inasmuch, as the tins are ob-V employed as a funnel and may be positioned upright surrounding an opening bystanding the same upon the free end of the tube 16 and the enlarged ends 21 of the fins 17.

While the form ofthe invention herein set forth is believed to be preferable, it will be understood that minor changes'may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

What I claim as new is: l

1. A milk boiler comprising a receptacle, an inverted funnel-shaped member mounted in the receptacle upon the bottom thereof,

having an upwardly'extending neck aXially.

of the receptacle and spaced triangularshaped fins eXteriorly of the neck inclined 1 toward their point of merger with the flare ing portion of said Jfunnel-shaped member.

2. .A milk boiler comprising a receptacle having a bottoni and a top rim, a funnelshaped member comprising a hemispherical base and a radially carried tube, feet upon the base mounted upon the bottom of the receptacle when positioned for use, with the tube upwardly extending centrally of the latter terminating beneath the planeof said rim and spaced fins obliquely mounted exand the adj acentV Wider ends of the ins beingv teriorly of the tube tapering toward the base adaptedfor directing theow of inilkyvhen`l f rim', v'spaced fins obliquelymounted exteriorly of thek tube taperingtoyvardthe base adapted forV directing thelioW of milk-When used las a boiler, the openv-ree end of the tube adapted for supporting the funnelfshaped member When used as ayfunnel independ` ently of said receptacle and a handle projecting from the; receptacle adjacent Vsaid rim.

4. `In a milk boiler, a receptacle and a milk f deflector adapted for positioning thereim' the saidndeiiector being hollow With alleinispherical base and a tube axially projecting -fro'm thebase'l depending feet upon the open fendf'of the base adapted for seating upon the bottom of the receptacle and tapered tins carried bythe tube in spaced oblique relations lterminating Hush With the open free end of the tube when the device is in use with the tube axially positioned in the receptacle and its reeendfbeneath thetlevel of the mouthjof the receptacle. i lV 5. A milkY boiler member comprising1a` hemispherical hollow-base, a-,tubular yneckl centrally projecting outWardlyfo thebase;

supporting feet upon the 'open end 'of-the. base, anda plurality of triangularns" obliquely lcarried exteriorly [ofthe tube With their engaged ends in the plane of the open mouth oiv the tube and their opposite-ends merging AWith the adjacent portionzof the base. kI
